| Trolling Trump, Iran’s Khamenei poses with White House exposé ‘Fire and Fury’ |
| 2018-05-13 |
| [IsraelTimes] Days after US withdraws from nuclear deal, ayatollah leafs through bestseller that brands president unstable and unfit for office Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei trolled US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... by posing for a photograph reading a Persian translation of the book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House." Khamenei then had the photograph posted on his Instagram page. Khamenei picked up the book while on a tour of a Tehran book fair on Friday. The post had garnered nearly 126,000 likes by Saturday evening. Michael Wolff’s book, published in January, has been a runaway bestseller and infuriated Trump. The president sought to block its publication. Trump tweeted when it was released that the instant bestseller ‐ which paints him as disengaged, ill-informed, and unstable, with signs of serious memory loss ‐ was a "Fake Book, written by a totally discredited author." Trump has also described the book as "a work of fiction." Wolff defended his scathing portrayal of the US president and said "one hundred percent" of those around him questioned his fitness for office. Khamenei posted the image days after Trump quit the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. Khamenei has warned that Tehran will also withdraw from the accord, which was designed to rein in Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program, unless European signatories offer solid guarantees that trade relations will continue after the US withdrawal, and slammed Trump over the move. In comments on Wednesday, Khamenei derided the US president, saying, "You cannot do a damn thing!" Khamenei described Trump’s speech Tuesday night, announcing the US was quitting the deal, as having "over 10 lies," without elaborating. He also said Trump’s remarks, which he described as "silly and superficial," threatened Iran’s people and its government. |

| #7 It's worked pretty well for the templated works of John Sanford and Sue Grafton. |

| #6 copyright issues. From the blog of a writer I follow, on the subject of typical industry practices: Reoccurring Titles. This is normal. Happens all the time. You can’t copyright your titles. Copyrighting your titles in a misguided effort to brand yourself won’t really do anything to help your book sales. |

| #3 Who is michael wolf to steal that title, and why do you read shit as a "Leader"? What the fuck is wrong with you. Never listen to democrats. I told you that long ago Hamenei. You are better off reading the enquirer or the "guardian." I mean really? Try rantburg! We talk ample shit about you here. And read the Bible. |

| #2 I guess the intellect of what Faulkner is what he thinks he can project here. Not my first pick from that author. Also, there is a part in the Bible with your name in it. Are you not curious,(K) Hamenei? There are places for all of you in history, but the one you are making is never going to be a future. Kapish? My advice is to do what Kim Jung Un does. |
